I'm picking up riding again after a long hiatus. Over the years I continuously tried getting better but tricks would never progress, despite many hours of practice. These are the tricks I focused on over the years: spinning peg wheelies (in preparation for time machines later), McCircles, fwd steamrollers (which are doable, but killing for my back), and front yards. I always hit the same wall with these for some reason.
These are mostly the basics, but what are some alternatives to try and learn before attempting those again? I think I need to feel what it's like again to get good progress on a trick, otherwise I'll lose motivation again.
Also, I finally have front brakes again, so that should help.
